SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, in accordance with section 
743(c) of Division C of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. 
L. 111-117, 123 Stat. 3034, 3216), is announcing the availability of 
OSC's service contract inventory for fiscal year (FY) 2014. This 
inventory provides information on service contract actions that

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karl Kammann, Chief Financial Officer, 
at 1730 M St. NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036, or by facsimile at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 16, 2009, the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2010 (Consolidated Appropriations Act), Public Law 
111-117, became law. Section 743(a) of the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, titled, ``Service Contract Inventory Requirement,'' requires 
agencies to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), an 
annual inventory of service contracts awarded or extended through the 
exercise of an option on or after April 1, 2010, and describes the 
contents of the inventory. The contents of the inventory must include:
    (A) A description of the services purchased by the executive agency 
and the role the services played in achieving agency objectives, 
regardless of whether such a purchase was made through a contract or 
task order;
    (B) The organizational component of the executive agency 
administering the contract, and the organizational component of the 
agency whose requirements are being met through contractor performance 
of the service;
    (C) The total dollar amount obligated for services under the 
contract and the funding source for the contract;
    (D) The total dollar amount invoiced for services under the 
contract;
    (E) The contract type and date of award;
    (F) The name of the contractor and place of performance;
    (G) The number and work location of contractor and subcontractor 
employees, expressed as full-time equivalents for direct labor, 
compensated under the contract;
    (H) Whether the contract is a personal services contract; and
    (I) Whether the contract was awarded on a noncompetitive basis, 
regardless of date of award.
    Section 743(a)(3)(A) through (I) of the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act. Section 743(c) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act requires 
agencies to ``publish in the Federal Register a notice that the 
inventory is available to the public.''
    Consequently, through this notice, we are announcing that OSC's 
service contract inventory for FY 2014 is available to the public. The 
inventory provides information on service contract actions over $25,000 
that OSC made in FY 2014. OSC's finance section has posted its 
inventory, and a summary of the inventory can be found at our homepage 
at the following link:
